My reasons for not buying. 1) cost, way too pricey, 2) lack of enough EV chargers to make it worth it at this time, 3) the adverse affect of cold on the batteries which affects the operational range, 4) the adverse affect of severe heat (think over 40c which we see in the Deserts of the USA) which while possibly increasing range causes battery degradation, 5) EVs keep popping up catching on fire spontaneously and battery fires don’t like water and need alternate means to put out, 6) the USA grid or any Grid is not anywhere ready for massive EV incorporation, and 7) the minerals needed are currently (for the most part) only available from China which has many challenges and issues around that fact.
